Painted this little llama yesterday using gouache and colored pencils! Really happy with how it turned out, even though I found using gouache to be a bit frustrating (I'm just so used to watercolors!) The idea was inspired by @alexandradikaia 's Magic Creatures Creative Challenge. I really love the challenge and I'm going to see how far I can get through. My prompt was "Emerald Llama." I highly recommend checking out her amazing work and taking a look at the challenge! Process vid to be uploaded tomorrow! . . . #alexandrakaia_mcc #llama #emeraldllama #magical_creatures #whimsical #illustration #Illustrations #illustration_best #childrensbooks #childrenswritersguild #kidlitart #kidart #childrensillustrations #best_of_illustrations #childrensbookillustrations #childrensillustration #kidsillustrations #bookillustration #gouache #painting #mixedmedia
